Lyrics
When Archie Artichoke goes out to play,
All his friends get out of the way;
You ought to see him dance and spin,
He can bugaloo on the head of a pin.
A dee dee, dee dee, dee dee, deeee
A dee dee, dee dee, dee dee, deeee
Then Archie yells out “Everyone Dance”
His friends all move like ants-in-the-pants
It’s quite a sight to see them all
Dancin’ on ceilings, floors and walls.
A dee dee, dee dee, dee dee, deeee
A dee dee, dee dee, dee dee, deeee
Then someone says “Let’s form a line”
And Archie’s friends come one at a time
There’s peppers and carrots and lettuce heads,
Squash and peas and tomatoes red,
Broccoli and celery and lima beans,
Zucchini and radishes, What a scene!!
A dee dee, dee dee, dee dee, deeee
A dee dee, dee dee, dee dee, deeee
Now you can form a line right now
It’s easy fun, I’ll show you how -
One should stand in the middle of the room
Then the rest of us line up real soon
Just grab the person ahead in the middle
And don’t take time to fiddle or diddle
And don’t you worry ‘bout all these rhymes
Just keep movin’ forward all the time.
A dee dee, dee dee, dee dee, deeee
A dee dee, dee dee, dee dee, deeee
Yes Archie is a popular guy
Did you ever stop and wonder why?
His secret is he’s nice to all
Big and small, short and tall
You may have thought it’s the way he prances
When he steps out and starts his dances
But it’s more important to make a friend
Then dancin’ every song ‘til the record’s end.
A dee dee, dee dee, dee dee, deeee
A dee dee, dee dee, dee dee, deeee
A dee dee, dee dee, dee dee, deeee
A dee dee, dee dee, dee dee, deeee
OH YEAH !!

The Hiking Song
"The Happy Wanderer"
Lyrics
I love to go a-wandering, along the mountain track,
And as I go, I love to sing “My knapsack on my back.”
Val-deri,Val-dera,
Val-deri,
Val-dera-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Val-deri,Val-dera.
My knapsack on my back.
I love to wander by the stream that dances in the sun,
So joyously it calls to me, “Come! Join my happy song!”
Val-deri,Val-dera,
Val-deri,
Val-dera-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Val-deri,Val-dera.
Come! Join my happy song!
I wave my hat to all I meet, and they wave back to me,
And robins call so loud and sweet from every green wood tree.
Val-deri,Val-dera,
Val-deri,
Val-dera-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Val-deri,Val-dera.
from every green wood tree.
High overhead, the skylarks’ wing, they never rest at home
And just like me, they love to sing, as o’er the fields we roam.
Val-deri,Val-dera,
Val-deri,
Val-dera-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Val-deri,Val-dera.
as o’er the fields we roam.
Oh, may I go a-wandering all day and always try!
Oh, may I always laugh and sing, beneath the clear blue sky!
Val-deri,Val-dera,
Val-deri,
Val-dera-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Val-deri,Val-dera.
beneath the clear blue sky!
The ants go marching one by one, Hurrah (Hurrah!) Hurrah (Hurrah!)
The ants go marching one by one, Hurrah (Hurrah!) Hurrah (Hurrah!)
The ants go marching one by one, the last one stopped to have some fun
As they all go marching through the field of green.
Boom Boom, Boom Boom, Boom Boom, Boom Boom
The ants go marching two by two, Hurrah (Hurrah!) Hurrah (Hurrah!)
The ants go marching two by two, Hurrah (Hurrah!) Hurrah (Hurrah!)
The ants go marching two by two, the last one stopped to tie her shoe
As they all go marching through the field of green.
Boom Boom, Boom Boom, Boom Boom, Boom Boom
The ants go marching three by three, Hurrah (Hurrah!) Hurrah (Hurrah!)
The ants go marching three by three, Hurrah (Hurrah!) Hurrah (Hurrah!)
The ants go marching three by three, the last one stopped to climb a tree
As they all go marching through the field of green.
Boom Boom, Boom Boom, Boom Boom, Boom Boom
The ants go marching four by four, Hurrah (Hurrah!) Hurrah (Hurrah!)
The ants go marching four by four, Hurrah (Hurrah!) Hurrah (Hurrah!)
The ants go marching four by four, the last one stopped to close the door
As they all go marching through the field of green.
Boom Boom, Boom Boom, Boom Boom, Boom Boom
The ants go marching five by five, Hurrah (Hurrah!) Hurrah (Hurrah!)
The ants go marching five by five, Hurrah (Hurrah!) Hurrah (Hurrah!)
The ants go marching five by five, the last one stopped to dance the jive
As they all go marching through the field of green.

The ants go marching seven by seven, Hurrah (Hurrah!) Hurrah (Hurrah!)
The ants go marching seven by seven, the last one stopped to look at heaven
As they all go marching through the field of green.

The ants go marching eight by eight, Hurrah (Hurrah!) Hurrah (Hurrah!)
The ants go marching eight by eight, the last one stopped to shut the gate
As they all go marching through the field of green.

The ants go marching nine by nine, Hurrah (Hurrah!) Hurrah (Hurrah!)
The ants go marching nine by nine, Hurrah (Hurrah!) Hurrah (Hurrah!)
The ants go marching nine by nine, the last one stopped to tell the time
As they all go marching through the field of green.

The ants go marching ten by ten, Hurrah (Hurrah!) Hurrah (Hurrah!)
The ants go marching ten by ten, the last one stopped to say THE END!
EVERYONE LAUGH!
